- CPCarter Piwowarczyk2 days ago5.0Have stayed here a few times driving between Denver and Kalamazoo. It is a great location if you are driving thru Des Moines due to it being on the far East side. The area is quiet and cute, with restaurants. The hotel is great, with nice staff, and very clean rooms. Typical Holiday Inn vibe, which is not a bad thing. Would stay here again if I ever drive thru Des Moines in the future.

- MKMatt KnezApr 8, 20265.0I’m a Diamond and stay at IHG properties almost weekly. The Altoona hotel is modern and clean with all the amenities I come to expect from the Holiday Inn Express brand. No complaints.
- JRJeremy RiffleMar 17, 20265.0I am an over the road truck driver and when I am in town I try to stay at this hotel. I have never had an issue on getting a room and the CLC process can take a minute but the front desk always makes it look so easy. Lori and Dominic are awesome at multitasking and making you feel welcome. I usually show up in the early mornings so they are trying to handle other customers but still make me feel wanted here and are always keeping a smile on their face. Lisa and Solanthel over in the breakfast area, sorry if I misspelled her name, are awesome as well. Lisa is always willing to give me a hug and talk with me. Solanthel is always asking if I need anything and making sure I am happy. Lisa works so hard on keeping everything clean. Lisa, Solanthel, Lori and Dominic are the reason I always come back here. Thank you for having them as employees and thank you for the great service and the quiet and clean rooms!!
